Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour (or blended oats)
- 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
- Cooking spray or oil for waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and crispy waffles.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick and ready for cooking.
- Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or oil. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it slightly to fill the surface, then cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm. Top them with your favorite toppings such as nut butter, fresh berries, or extra Greek yogurt for added protein and flavor.
Notes
- For an extra protein boost, top your waffles with additional Greek yogurt or a spoonful of protein-infused nut butter.
- To make the recipe dairy-free, use dairy-free yogurt alternatives and plant-based protein powder.
